Alonso: Madrid Can Win Six Trophies

One time Real Madrid midfielder, Xabi Alonso has backed his former club to win six trophies this season.

Madrid won the La Liga and the Champions League last season and have already won the UEFA Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup.

The Los Blancos are also on track to defend their European trophy and the La Liga, with the Copa del Rey and Club World Cup to be won.

“It is complicated but not impossible. It can be done,” Alonso said of winning six trophies.

“Madrid are leading the way for the rest of the world. If we look at how they have played in the last four years and how the team looks, they are certainly the reference points in every way, both in Europe and throughout the world,” he continued.

“You never know how far you can go but things appear to be very good. Zinedine Zidane has earned his place on great merit with how he has been able to manage everything. He won LaLiga which the club hadn’t did recently and deserved to do it. Their trajectory is very good.”

Alonso added: “They have won three out of four [Champions League titles] … which isn’t bad. The whole Madridismo community is very excited and the feeling is that they can achieve even more.

“The others will try to close the gap but Real Madrid are at a higher level than the rest at the moment and with young people, they won’t stop getting better.”
